shep Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Had a Family reunion a few weeks ago at Gold Basin w/ brother, daughter and grandson. Agreat place for get together! Got a few nuggets and several meteorites. Mr. Frank C showed me Marvin’s stash box w/ a slab cut from a meteorite. It was cool and gave me an idea.When I got back, I took a nice one to my buddy who has a Rockshop and had him slab it and put a sterling silver border around it and loop for a pendant. The slab has the surface crust on the back and slabbed side shows the nickel condrites (sp?).Won’t find something like this in New York or Frisco (won't find me there either), but think it’ll make a great conversation piece for my daughter.What do you think?Shep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highbanker58 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Shep - That was a great idea. All I have to do now is find one to cut in half. What have you been up to? I haven't seen you since last year at GB. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
